WEST SUNBURY, Pa. (AP) — State police say drag racing may have led to a head-on collision that killed a 19-year-old driver and injured three teens in another car in rural western Pennsylvania last week.

Police say Christina Williams, of West Sunbury, died Nov. 11 in Clay Township. Police say the accident happened on Route 308, just north of the city of Butler, which is about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh.

Police say Williams was driving south when her car was hit by a northbound vehicle driven by a 16-year-old Butler boy. The driver of that car, and his two teenage passengers, were all hospitalized.

Police say the 16-year-old may have been racing another car when he hit Williams’ vehicle. No charges have been filed.
